SoCon Week #3 Pick 'em

Post by The Cats »

Week #3 picks

Yesterday's games are in the books, lets look ahead to next week and pick the winners.....

Week #3 - September 19

Chattanooga at Samford - The Mocs have a big let down, while Samford continues playing at a high level and spoil Chattanooga's dream of another undefeated conference season. 35-31

Wofford at Idaho - The Vandals squeak out a win over the Terriers, 28-24

VMI at Richmond - Upset alert!!!!! The Keydets knock off the Spiders in an upset at Richmond - 38-21

Furman at UCF - The Knights escape with a close win - 35-28

The Citadel at Ga Southern - The Bulldogs stay close, but the Eagles have the numbers and win, 28-`7

Mercer at Tennessee Tech - The Bears pick up win #3 on the road, spoiling the home opener for the Golden Eagles, 35-28

Western Carolina at Tennessee - The losses continue for the Cats, as they are shell shocked in Knoxville, 56-14

___________

Power rankings....
#1. Samford - Playing in the first two weeks like we thought the Mocs would.
#2. Chattanooga - A big letdown after the loss to JSU, just a 10 point victory over Div. II Mars Hill
#3. The Citadel - The Dogs were seriously underrated in preseason, and may still be in this ranking
#4. Wofford - The pieces are falling into place for the Terriers, maybe a contender after all
#5. Western Carolina - Highly overrated in preseason, this may be too high as well
#6. Mercer - The Bears have taken care of bossiness so far, and willl continue to rise in the rankings
#7. Furman - Looking better than last season, but how will the Paladins play in conference?
#8. VMI - Definitely an improved team, unfortunately, so has everyone else besides the Catamounts

VMI has a good offense and Richmond is down. My pick on that game could do either way, really.

Chat over Samford - although I think it could go either way. About as close to a toss up as you will see.
Wofford over Idaho. The away game and travel makes it a little more difficult but I am pretty darn sure WC is the better team.
Richmond over VMI - although I agree that VMI winning would not be a surprise
UCF over Furman - From what I hear UCF can't run the ball and has lots of injuries, but still.
GSU over the Citadel - The battle of the teams I most like to see lose ;)
Mercer over Tenn Tech
Tenn over WCU

Chattanooga at Samford

Wofford at Idaho

VMI at Richmond - though hopefully not by more than two TDs

Furman at UCF

The Citadel at GA Southern - home field advantage lifts GSU to late-game win.

Mercer at Tennessee Tech - TTU is giving up 43 ppg, and Mercer has taken care of inferior teams so far this year. Bears by 10+.

Western Carolina at Tennessee
